Short answer: Get the 1000 mL MCPN-14 if you drink cold brew daily or share it. It costs just $3 more at Hario USA ($25.50 vs $22.50) and comes in more colors. Get the 600 mL MCPN-7 if you live alone or have a short fridge shelf. It is 86 mm shorter.

I live in Japan, where summer iced coffee is often made overnight in the fridge (mizudashi means “water brewed”). Hario’s Mizudashi pot is the classic way to do it, and it comes in two sizes.

I haven’t tested these side by side. Everything below comes from the manufacturers’ official product pages, linked at the end. If a spec isn’t published, I say so instead of guessing.

Key differences at a glance

  • Batch size: The MCPN-14 brews 1000 mL, while the MCPN-7 brews 600 mL.
  • Height: The MCPN-14 is 294 mm tall, which is 86 mm taller than the 208 mm MCPN-7.
  • Price: Hario USA lists the MCPN-7 at $22.50 and the MCPN-14 at $25.50.
  • Colors: Hario USA sells the 600 mL only in black, while the 1000 mL also comes in red and brown.
  • What stays the same: Both use the same glass pot design, fine-mesh removable strainer and 138 x 94 mm footprint.

The 3 Differences That Matter

1. How much you drink

600 mL is about two to three tall glasses. 1000 mL covers a couple or a few days for one person, but one Japanese reviewer found it more than one person could finish in a day.

2. Fridge fit

Both have the same footprint. The deciding number is height: 208 mm versus 294 mm, so measure your door pocket or shelf.

3. Cost per batch

The pot price gap is small. The bigger running cost is coffee, because a full 1000 mL batch needs proportionally more grounds.

What’s the same

Same brewing method: put coarse or medium grounds in the mesh strainer, add water and leave it in the fridge. The strainer comes out for cleaning, and the pot is heatproof glass made in Japan.

Who Should Buy Which?

Choose the MCPN-7 if you:

  • Drink cold brew alone
  • Have a short fridge shelf
  • Want the cheapest Hario cold brewer

Choose the MCPN-14 if you:

  • Drink it daily or share it
  • Want red or brown
  • Prefer fewer brewing sessions

Mizudashi in Japan

Hario Japan sells the same pots as the 水出し珈琲ポット (MCPN-14-B, 1,000 mL, 8 cups, ¥2,200) and the “Mini” MCPN-7-B (600 mL, 5 cups, ¥1,980). Its directions call for about 8 hours in the fridge, and Hario’s Japanese store says the pot can go in the dishwasher.

Rakuten reviewers of the MCPN-14 call it an easy way to get smooth iced coffee that tastes good black. One says it fits in the fridge like a 2-liter bottle. Others note that it takes a lot of grounds, and one person drinking alone said the 1000 mL size was too much for a day. (Third-party reviews, not our own testing.)
